worried about high levels
Good morning everyone. It has been a while, and I had asked for blood tests before I went and had some private B12 injections, as my own Doctor had stopped them. My B12 was also low due to malabsorbtion, and PA results were borderline. I am symptomatic and feeling really bad lately. Its over a year

Mirena coil experiences?
Does anyone have experience of a Mirena Coil with Hypothyroidism (esp. Hashimoto's)? I have very heavy periods, now on 100mcg Levo and feeling much improved. I'm 48 so very likely peri-menopausal too. Just had an appointment with the Womens' Health Nurse at our practice who suggested Mirena IUD as

Do steroids mask infection
I had a total knee replacement on 25th Nov. Took 10 mgs of Pred (double dose re Sick Day rules). On 24th Dec got infection in scar - stitch abcess for which I got antibiotics from MIU. Saw Ortho surgeon a few days later who told me to stop taking antibiotics because they would mask bacterial infection

Fluid after mastectomy
Fluid after mastectomy. Hi all. I had my surgery three weeks ago. I have some fluid which the Breast nurse assured me it’s normal. Feels as if I’m growing a new boob at the minute! But what I wondered is what everybody else has experienced? How long should I expect it to last for? I’m drinking lots

Ablation experience
It is now 48 hours since my ablation and I thought that others might like to know something of my experience. In the last 11 months I have had my gall bladder removed, a mastectomy and 2 cardioversions but this was the procedure that I was far most worried about. After 3 cardioversions, I have been in

Iron test - unsure how to interpret results
I was advised to get a full iron test done after a test for thyroid levels was within range. I'm trying to determine the cause of severe fatigue and muscle pain, twitches, digestion issues, headaches, pins & needles. Does this measurement for transferrin saturation indicate anything I should investigate

Panic over endo surgery
Hi there,I've been waiting for laparoscopic surgery and a cystectomy for some time to treat what has been classified as severe endo. I got a call to say they are booking me in and now I am really panicked. I have never had any kind of surgery before and, because of where the endo is, I'll also need

Latest GP diagnosis is... I’m getting old! I'm 55! Help with next steps please… 😠
Hi everyone. So had my GP follow up since my previous posts. My ferritin is 26, which the GP informs me is the highest it’s been since they tested in 2017. She assures me it's fine as it’s ‘in range’ [10 – 180]. She insists I ‘categorically cannot have low B12 symptoms’ with an ‘above range’ B12

What’s next after Piqray?
Hello ladies, I’ve been on Piqray since December of last year - 12/2021 and scans have been stable. My onc said next in line would be Enhertu but with having only one true functioning lung ( my right lung is trapped due to a botched mastectomy and radiation from 2019), I’m nervous about going through

ER+/PR+, HER2-, Stage1B (+sentinel node)
Hi Diagnosed in March 2022 - partial mastectomy and 33 doses/days radiation now on Letrozole. Anyone with similar diagnosis and treatment have any advice on supplements or what to expect? Reading some posts where Letrozole "stopped working". Any information is helpful. Thanks so much and God bless
